STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) β Penn State’s trustees are getting together to discuss a 2-year-old report by former FBI director Louis Freeh’s team that concluded football coach Joe Paterno and top administrators concealed key facts about Jerry Sandusky’s abuse of children to avoid bad publicity.
The topic for the Tuesday meeting in State College is a push by alumni members to re-examine the report, which many alumni feel used flimsy evidence and unfairly blamed the school’s football culture for Sandusky’s criminal acts.
The board plans to meet privately for about an hour and then have an open discussion.
Alumni board member Anthony Lubrano says he hopes the board will appoint a group to examine the Freeh report and develop questions, and then bring in Freeh and members of his team to provide answers.
